New garden fence - neighbour won't share cost

[SantaClaus]

The deeds will say which boundaries are your responsibility.

My neighbour put up an ugly fence after the old one was torn down by winds.
I nailed some trellis and climbing plants to make it look pretty and he went ape.

So to cut a long story short, I paid him for the fence and he let my trellis stay.

Moral of the story: Sometimes it's better to just shell out a bit of money for some peace and quiet.

Or, make the fence a tasteful shape.

Not all deeds do unfortunately. Mine don't and a few other people I know don't either. It's probably due to the age of our properties.

Why would you be allowed to paint their side, and do you think they would even let you on their property?

I buy the wooden fence panels, paint one side, then insert them between the concrete posts with the side I had just painted facing towards neighbours.

All land has value - they are not making any more of it.

Yes they are: New islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Artwork! What a good idea.

I'm sure there is an obliging 5 year old somewhere......

plant Japanese Knotweed and then move house

Leylandii would be more subtle and less illegal.

Trying to sell a house with JK is a nightmare.
